<p>RSA Security (Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced that E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation has selected the RSA® Adaptive Authentication solution as well as the Company’s anti-phishing service to provide next-generation online security for its retail customers.</p><p>RSA Adaptive Authentication, the integrated solution created since RSA Security acquired Cyota in 2005, will deliver an additional layer of behind-the-scenes fraud detection and consumer authentication for E*TRADE FINANCIAL customers. E*TRADE FINANCIAL will also join the RSA eFraudNetwork™ community, a cross-institution online fraud repository which is designed to allow financial institutions to share fraudster profiles and efficiently detect and stop online banking and online commerce fraud in real-time.</p><p>“E*TRADE FINANCIAL deploys aggressive security initiatives and solutions to safeguard our systems and to protect our customers,” said Greg Framke, Chief Information Officer, E*TRADE FINANCIAL. “After a thorough evaluation process, E*TRADE FINANCIAL has chosen RSA Security’s solutions to deploy a flexible, active multi-factor authentication and fraud prevention system to enhance our multi-layered security measures.”</p><p>RSA Security’s risk-based authentication solution is engineered to analyse every login and transaction behind the scenes, and scores the potential risk based on a broad range of criteria, including the user’s IP address, geographic location and prior transaction behaviour. When a potentially risky situation is detected, it can invoke additional authentication methods in real-time.</p><p>In addition to this, E*TRADE FINANCIAL will deploy RSA Security’s FraudAction™ service, an end-to-end anti-phishing solution that helps detect, prepare for, actively respond to and control phishing attempts. The FraudAction service also includes one of the world's first anti-pharming services, designed to assist banks with protection from DNS Poisoning attacks, also known as pharming.</p><p>“By proactively helping to protect customers against fraudulent activity, RSA Security will help E*TRADE FINANCIAL to remain one step ahead of today’s and tomorrow’s online threats,” said Chris Young, senior vice president and general manager of RSA Consumer Solutions. “The addition of our risk-based authentication solution to the RSA SecurID® tokens E*TRADE FINANCIAL currently offers its customers will provide E*TRADE FINANCIAL customers with more options to combat online fraud.”</p><p>About RSA Security Inc.RSA Security Inc. is the expert in protecting online identities and digital assets.
